Georissidae
''Georissus'', also called minute mud-loving beetles, is the only genus in the beetle family Georissidae (or Georyssidae). They are tiny insects living in wet soil, often near water. They are found on every continent except Antarctica. Characteristics Georissidae are small beetles (length 1–2 mm). They have a broadly oval body whose outline is more or less interrupted between the pronotum and the elytra. The head and pronotum are granulate, the prosternum is rudimentary, without intercoxal processes. The anterior coxae and trochanters are fused. The basal ventrite is very large. Ecology Species are generally found within mud and sand at the periphery of rivers and streams, but also occur in tropical rainforest leaf litter. Species of ''Georissus'' are predators on invertebrates, and under laboratory conditions sometimes engage in cannibalism. Species within the genus are known for their habit of psammophory (actively covering their elytra with sand or mud) which helps ...
